I received a lovely email from
Aya Akazawa, a senior designer at Chronicle Books whose Origami crafts were featured in one of last week's post on the
Chronicle Book's blog. Aya shows us some sweet little ideas using
Origami papers that she designed for Chronicle Books' new
Creatures & Critters Origami Craft Pad, which is due out this spring.
I love how
Aya shows us some fresh new ideas for using origami papers, much more than their intended, original use. Aya asked, "Did you know back when we didn’t have the technology to print patterns directly onto whatever we desire, Japanese people used a type of figured rice paper called Chiyogami to decorate small objects?" I'm keen to read more! We can pre-order the new
Craft Pad today from
Chronicle Books. In the meantime, I'm looking around the pad to see what I might cover with some pretty origami papers...

ReplyDeleteso cute :)
ReplyDeleteI am all over this one! it will be mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely review, Victoria! Totally thrilled and have already called up whole friends and family about this :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, here in Japan, despite every child having a Nintendo DS, if you give them some origami paper, they'll be absorbed for hours. That goes for adults, too, actually!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so good at origami, but I have put together some fun videos of myself making cows, penguins and Godzilla from oshibori, wet Japanese hand towels. Take a peek - OshiboriArt.com :)
